A real diagnosis. In one visit. From a board-certified specialist.
60-minute structured evaluation. Validated rating scales. Full medical and psychiatric history. Treatment plan and prescription if indicated — all in the initial visit when clinically appropriate.
What actually happens in the appointment.
Pre-visit intake
After booking, you complete a structured intake: history, current symptoms, validated rating scales (ASRS, DIVA-5 framework), prior records. Plan ~30 minutes the day before.
Structured clinical interview
A full 60 minutes via secure video. We work through DSM-5 criteria for adult ADHD plus differential diagnoses. We ask the questions that matter, not the ones you've already answered five times.
Differential & comorbidity screen
Anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, bipolar spectrum, substance use, and medical contributors (sleep apnea, thyroid, low ferritin, caffeine/substance effects).
Medical & medication review
Cardiovascular history, current prescriptions, supplements, and any conditions that affect medication selection. Dual FNP certification means this isn't a hand-wave — we treat the whole patient.
Diagnostic decision and treatment plan
At the end of the visit you walk away with a clear answer: ADHD (with subtype), a different diagnosis, or 'we need more data' with a defined next step. Prescription can be sent same day if appropriate.
Records & documentation
Detailed clinical note in your chart. Released to you on request, including for ADA accommodations, school documentation, or insurance.
A few things we don't do.
Not a 20-minute screen.
If a provider can diagnose adult ADHD in 20 minutes, they can't. We block a full 60 minutes for a reason.
Not a stimulant vending machine.
Stimulants are highly effective for the right diagnosis. We prescribe them responsibly. We will not prescribe controlled substances based on a rushed eval.
Not 'online ADHD' gimmickry.
No app-based diagnosis. No certification mills. Telehealth done right is the same standard of care as in-person — and that's how we run it.
Transparent pricing.
Most patients pay only their plan's specialist copay. We're in-network with Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, Optum, PacificSource, Regence, and SelectHealth.
